Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Cuddles or How I Joined A Conga Line

Hi everyone, just a short chapter today. :) I hope you enjoy it! All the love, Summer xxx

The show was amazing. Everyone was really emotional and there was a lot of hugging and crying going on, not only in the audience, but also on stage. They kept repeating that this wasn't the end of One Direction and when Niall thanked the others and teared up a bit, Lily was clinging onto me for support. I was hugging Lily nearly the whole time or holding her hand and Lottie, who was standing next to us, was also very emotional.

During the show, Harry caught my eyes at one point and winked at me while gesturing towards his shoes. He was wearing his golden, sparkly boots again that we had made fun of during our first show about a month ago. I stuck out my tongue at him and he put his hand over his chest. Little Things was maybe even more special this second time because both Louis and Niall sat towards our side of the stage and Louis smiled and winked at me when he had finished his part, which made me blush a little bit. I was glad that Lottie was standing next to me so that people wouldn't get suspicious. Niall looked over to Lily during his solo who nearly broke my hand because she was squeezing it so hard.

Towards the end, it felt like a huge goodbye party for the boys. Everyone was dancing and singing and having the time of their lives. 'Act My Age' was undeniably the absolute highlight of the show. Everyone in our friends and family section did a conga line, led by Liam's dad and the boys went just as crazy on stage as we did. It was the best night of my life so far and it had only just started. We danced to 'Act My Age' for at least five minutes which was amazing. I think Niall spoke for everyone when he said "This is the most fun I've ever had."

And then, finally, they performed 'Drag Me Down' as their last song and everyone got emotional again. Lily and I were hugging each other very tightly as well, when the boys hugged each other on stage. I knew that this wasn't the last time I'd see them perform on a big stage, but it would be the last one in a longer time and that made everyone emotional.

After the boys had walked off stage, we quickly made our way backstage. The moment Niall had spotted Lily he pulled her into a hug. They hugged for a long time and Niall was whispering something into her ear to which she nodded with a big smile. I was so entranced by Lily and Niall that I hadn't noticed Louis who had walked up to me after hugging his friends and family who had come along, until he put a hand on my shoulder. "Hi love." he said to me and I smiled up at him. "Hi Lou." He pulled me into a long hug. He seemed to be taking this a lot harder than he was trying to make everyone believe and I hugged him back just as tightly as he was hugging me. "Are you okay?" I asked him quietly and he nodded, but didn't let go off me for another minute or so.

After Louis had released me, I hugged Niall and Liam as well and Louis introduced me to some of his friends from back home. I chatted with them for a bit, but I was secretly looking out for Harry who I hadn't seen since he had walked off stage. I let my eyes wander along the crowd, but I couldn't spot him anywhere.

Suddenly, someone was covering my eyes from behind and a deep voice said "Were you looking for me?" I grinned and turned around, only to quickly take a step back. Harry was standing right behind me, grinning down at me. "Maybe." I replied and Harry's grin became even bigger if that was possible. "Did you enjoy the show, love?" he asked me and I nodded happily. "A bit emotional, but so worth it!" Harry nodded. "It was emotional, but this was probably the best show I have ever played." I smiled up at him. "I'm glad you enjoyed it, Harry." We kept smiling at each other for a couple of seconds, until Louis coughed behind me and Harry quickly took a step back.

"We are heading off to the hotel for a short time very soon, so that everyone who arrived just before the show can drop off their stuff in their rooms before we go out and we need to get your bag from my dressing room, love." Louis told me and I send an apologetic smile Harry's way who smiled back at me before he walked over to where his friends and family were standing and Louis pulled me along with him towards his dressing room.

After the door had closed behind us, Louis let himself fall onto one of the sofas that was standing in the room. "I thought we had to hurry up so that we can get to the hotel before we go out again?" I asked him and he grinned widely at me. "We do, but we still have about ten minutes left until we have to leave. I just wanted to have you a bit to myself before I have to share you with everyone else again, for the rest of the night." He told me and my heart seemed to be able to explode at any seconds. "I'm perfectly okay with that" I assured him and he patted the spot next to him on the sofa so I sat down on the sofa as well. He put an arm around my shoulder and I leaned my head against his chest. We sat like that for about a minute, just enjoying each other's company. "This is nice. No annoying family members or friends who can interrupt us." Louis said and I hummed in response.

"How are you feeling about the tour being over now?" I asked him quietly. Louis sighed. "Well, of course it's sad because I will definitely miss being on tour and seeing the others on a daily basis, but on the other hand, I can't wait to release the album very soon and then just have some time off where no one tells me where I have to be at what time every single day. I can do anything I want." he told me. "It's gonna be weird, definitely." I squeezed his hand, but when I tried to drop it, he intertwined our fingers again. He seemed to be doing this a lot lately, and as much as I wasn't looking for a relationship right now, I also wasn't complaining about some cuddling. Everyone needed a good cuddle from time to time and I hadn't had one in a very long time.

There was a knock on the door and Harry's head poked through the door. His eyes lingered on our intertwined hands and my head on Louis' shoulder, but he only told us that it was time to leave. "Alright, we'll meet you at the cars in a minute." Louis told him and with a final look in my direction, Harry shut the door behind him and we were alone again.

"I guess, that's the end of our alone time." I said with a smile and got up. Louis let go off my hand and started to collect some personal things while I quickly pushed my phone in one of the side pockets of my overnight bag. "Ready to go?" Louis asked me and after one last look at his now abandoned dressing room, he closed the door behind us and took my hand in his again to lead us out of the arena towards the cars where the rest was waiting for us.
